Episode 309: Never Quit Weekend #1 with the Cliff Young Story
Tactical Fitness Report with Stew Smith PodcastShow Notes
This is our first Never Quit Mindset Show, where we explore some of the incredible stories of people who embody the "never quit mindset" to such an extent that we feel compelled to share and learn from them. After the quick story, you can jump on to share more comments about the person or ask a related/unrelated question if you prefer.
Cliff Young was a 61 year old potato farmer who set the endurance running world on fire in the early 1980s with his style of slow and steady and pure grit.
I wanted this to be open to LIVE discussion vs. a taped video show, as it adds some interesting dialogue. My plan is to do one of these types of shows once a week - primarily on the weekend, but they may also get bumped to a weekday depending on my schedule.

So let's get this done!
